| Abstract | The Portland Cement industry contributes approximately 7% of global greenhouse gas production. The reduction of CO2 emissions can be possible through the development of alternate binders like Alkali-activated slag (AAS). An attempt has been made to manufacture Alkali-Activated Slag composites which can be considered as a Green construction material. The paper presents the effect of curing conditions on engineering properties such as Water absorption, Apparent porosity and Compressive strength of AAS pastes. The alkali-activation was done using a combination of potassium hydroxide and sodium silicate. The test parameters include curing types (Water curing at room temperature (28 0 C) , Heat curing at 40 0 , 50 0 and 60 0 C ) and Alkali content ( 6.41%, 10.41% and 12.41% ) of the mass of blast furnace slag ). It has been found that Curing condition and Alkali content have significant effects on the physical and mechanical properties of AAS. |
